Maintenance Schedules in RAMP are used to plan and manage recurring preventative maintenance tasks across systems and assets.
They ensure required inspections and servicing occur at the correct frequency and are properly tracked.
Key Terms:
Maintenance Schedule
A Maintenance Schedule defines:
What work needs to be completed
How often it must be done
Which garage and system it applies to
For example:
“90 Day Car Lift Inspection – Location 004”
This schedule sets the recurring requirement.
Maintenance Cycle
A Maintenance Cycle is a specific occurrence of a Maintenance Schedule.
For example:
The Car Lift inspection taking place at Location 004 between 1 January and 30 March.
Each time the schedule repeats, a new maintenance cycle is generated.
In simple terms:
The Schedule is the recurring plan.
The Cycle is each individual instance of that plan.
How to Create a New Maintenance Schedule
To create a new maintenance schedule:
Step 1: Go to the Work Order Tab
Navigate to the Work Order tab to begin configuring the schedule.
Step 2: Enter Schedule Details
Provide:
A clear schedule name
The relevant garage
The relevant system
Contacts are automatically assigned based on the selected garage.
You can:
Add additional contacts
Remove contacts if required
This ensures the correct stakeholders are notified when maintenance cycles are generated.
Step 3: Set Priority and Work Description
Select the ticket priority level for the maintenance work.
Then provide a clear work description outlining:
What tasks must be completed
Any compliance requirements
Special instructions
The description should be detailed enough for technicians to understand the scope of work without needing clarification.
Step 4: Select Assets and Checklist
Choose the assets that will be included in the schedule.
Then select the checklist that should accompany each asset.
The checklist defines the specific inspection or maintenance steps that must be completed during each maintenance cycle.
This ensures:
Consistency across recurring maintenance
Proper documentation
Compliance tracking
